| Abstract: | Editorial departments in the UK book publishing sector have shrunk considerably recently and many former in-house employees have transferred to home-based, self-employed (freelance) status, often still working for their former employers. THe results of interviews with in-house managers of externally-based freelancers are presented here, along with a model of segmented labour markets. This article is a follow-up to an earlier one in this journal where it was reported that substantial numbers of formerly in-house editors and proofreaders in the UK book-publishing industry had become self-employed "freelancers", often still working for their previous employers and typically reliant upon a single client for over half their work. |
